The Spectator

In its cold, almost forensic way, this is as tense and exciting as it is absorbing. It's a miracle, really.

Fincher does, at least, make decent entertainment out of such inherently unprepossessing subjects as computer use and legal hearings.

There's so much story in this and provided a great platform for Jesse Eisenberg. It definitely feels like a lot of liberties with this true story but that doesn't make it less entertaining.

Rated: 4/5

This is a "Top Ten" film for me. The performances, direction, cinematography, score, and of course, the incredible Aaron Sorkin screenplay make this film a classic.

The Social Network offers a dazzling portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg and his heartwarming journey to revolutionize his bank account. The film’s ability to make coding look like an adrenaline-pumping sport is unparalleled. It’s not every day you get to see the uplifting story of betrayal, lawsuits, and the sheer joy of becoming a billionaire. This movie is a must-watch for anyone who wants to understand and appreciate the absurdity of modern success.
